Hard Pedal (Proportioning Valve)
I have the same "hard pedal" problem posted earlier. Anyhow, someone mentioned that if the proportioning valve were bad then the rear brakes would not bleed. All me brakes bleed but my helper told me the pedal did not go to the floor or was not real easy to push (hard to get a clear answer out of my loved ones). Anyhow, is there a definitive way to test the proportioning valve? Those things are pretty pricey and I don't want to buy one unless I have to. Thanks.

Let's see...
Slow rolling to a stop: If I put slight pressure on the pedal it works perfectly (new vacuum booster, btw).
Fast stop: The pedal is quite hard and I really have to put some muscle into it to get it to stop. I cannot lock up the brakes.
